There may be a time and a place for everything. The difficulty is figuring out when and where.

What to Do?

I woke up this morning positively delighted at the sensation that I don’t need to be anywhere in particular today. I then proceeded to drink coffee for the past two hours and look at stupid stuff on the internet, and now, really I should do something.

I have lots of things to do, most of which I even really want to do. The problem is that I can’t decide what I want to do first. Fitness walk/jog? Grocery store? Grant applications? Researchy writing? Knitting? Watch a movie? Read for next week? Read for fun? Laundry? Straighten up around the house? Clean the bathroom?

What I need is a plan. Hmmm.

Ok, well, I think I’m a little hungry, so I think I’ll make a grocery list and go to the grocery store and then I’ll come home and have lunch. After that, well, I’ll do something else.

Really.

I won’t spend the whole day watching a Teen Mom marathon and looking at stupid stuff on the internet.

Oh Dr. Crazy, I’m having the same struggle. Watching a movie that has absolutely no academic value, but is entertaining, sipping on coffee, and debating about when I’ll 1) study my Sunday School lesson for tomorrow, 2) FINISH MY SYLLABUS because classes start Tuesday, 3) work on some content for said Tuesday’s class, 4) work on manuscripts from dissertation, 5) work on presentation for October conference, or 6) laundry, clean, blah, blah, blah. Glad to know I’m not alone on this wonderfully perfect Saturday morning with absolutely no particular place to go :)
